But she knew the consequences of having sex and to get an abortion just cause someone broke up with you is not only ridiculous, but a little twisted. |
I agree, a person shouldn't have unprotected sex if they can't handle a child, but do you really think she should be stuck with a child she's not yet ready for, or as a single mother, for YEARS as a punishment or consequence?

Your right, there are often psychological consequences, but those consequences also potentially exists whether she keeps the baby, puts it up for adoption, or aborts it.

I can agree on this. Though I don't think you should talk her down, as a sibling make sure she is informed on all her options and makes a clear decision. Then whether you necessarily agree with her or not, try to support it as best as you can.
She knows she needs to have that abortion. I'm gonna pray for her before bed tonight. She is young and knows the road ahead if she (a kid) brings a kid into the world. Especially raising it alone, without the full support of the father.
